Oman Botanic Garden

The Oman Botanic Garden is a new world-class development of the Diwan of Royal Court in Oman, celebrating the unique plants, landscapes and cultural traditions of Oman. The garden is currently under construction and when it opens it will showcase all of the native plant species of Oman in a series of carefully created, naturalistic habitats from the dry deserts to the rich monsoon cloud forests. The garden will also showcase the traditionally cultivated crops and the many ways that people use plants in Oman. With this concept, the Oman Botanic Garden is unique in the world and of global significance – no other botanic garden is representing the entire flora of one country in habitat settings. It will present an unprecedented opportunity for visitors to experience the flora and vegetation of Oman while learning about the agricultural heritage, rich cultural traditions and legendary hospitality of the country.
